One of the most meaningful community projects I've co-facilitated is the BPD Superpowers. https://tiffanysostar.com/bpd-superpowers/ We finalized our collective doc three years ago and are getting ready to have some community conversations reflecting on what has changed, what we've learned, what we would say differently now. The rigorous critique of 'personality disorder' as a relevant label has grown, and I am SO excited to have that conversation. The second ed. will be shared next year. #bpd #narrativetherapy

how do i get someone whos only way of feeling love is to be obsessed, when you can't be obsessed because you know that that's not what love is?

This brilliant video by Mica, @PonderfulYT, is as clear an explanation as you’ll find of the neurodiversity movement, neurodivergence and neurotypicality, and their relation to disability: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iicSLx19pc

And it’s not just good because Boba tries to steal the show! 😻

Just back from an impromptu visit to our daughter (well, arranged this lunchtime).
An hour each way on the motorway mostly. If all driving were as relaxed as that it'd be tolerable - helped by Alex Kentuky's #InterlineLounge podcast.

Daughter is doing really well. She's got a shed load of stuff going on which would test the best of us. Not helped by her temporary CPN who seems worse than useless!

#UniversalCredit people are being extremely helpful!

FFS
The hospital has lifted our daughter's section and asked her to remain as a voluntary patient over the weekend so they can get support in place for when she is able to leave (on Tuesday).
Off course - she's on the bus back home. Of course she is.

This won't end well.

Help. One of the very smart people I follow posted something a week or two ago about codependency in a relationship with a person with mental illness. It was short, direct and full of wisdom. I can’t find it and I need it right now. Anybody? #mentalillness #bpdfam #bpd Reblogging would be appreciated

Con esfuerzo compramos un manual para pacientes DBT escrito por Marsha Linehan 💕, la fundadora de esta terapia.
Para quienes no sepan, la DBT es una terapia cognitivo conductual de tercera generación que se construyó para pacientes con Trastorno Límite de Personalidad. Es la que posee mayor investigación a favor de su eficacia, bueno, si estás del lado que valida las investigaciones cuantitativas en la psicología.

I shared about talking to someone new yesterday and how the didn’t get back to me today so I wished them the best - I shared about it on my Twitter page about #rejectionsensitivity, my #anxiety #bpd #depression (where usually I get lots of support)

Despite telling them I was in a crisis + I get that I’m a problem. They went + called me a psycho + laughed about it.

I’m so broken + done.
All I wanted was some comfort.

Cried a lot through therapy today.

Don’t usually do that tbh.

They’ve said I need to work on acceptance - I mean I think I’ve already accepted quite a lot. I’m frustrated I’m feeling stuck and even have to deal with all this at all.

Idk. No wonder I’ve not been in work. I just feel so pessimistic about everything.

*Please DONT give any unsolicited advice or any platitude on this*. I just needed to vent esp as deactivated Twitter for a bit.

In Tom Baker’s autobiography, he talks about having an “incomplete personality”. I’m not sure what he means and specifically if that is a term that people used to use that would be called something else now.

In particular what he describes sounds a bit like the symptoms of borderline personality disorder.

Or perhaps it is just a term of his own invention for what he sees as his own moral failings. Anybody know?

Wasn't that the same thing with Don Jr, Kushner, and the Russians wanting "adoption laws" to be changed (i.e. lift the sanctions on Putin's oligarchs), in exchange for dirt on Hilary?

They didn't receive the dirt they'd been promised so they didn't do anything wrong.

I'm sure these people have borderline personality disorders and are malignant narcissists.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy #DBT is a godsend for folks with personality disorders, and I really think just about anyone - mentally ill or not - could benefit from its concepts.

As someone who simultaneously struggles with Borderline Personality Disorder #BPD and Attention Deficit Disorder #ADD/#ADHD, being able to consistently implement and maintain the principles of DBT feels like a monumental and discouraging challenge, not the least of which is the cost of attending traditional #therapy when my partner and I are struggling just to survive. And in order to become stable enough to survive, we need to develop the #CopingSkills taught in DBT.. but we can't afford it!

My ADHD augments my BPD, leaving me with zero self-discipline. For example, I've dabbled with Duolingo and have a 42 day streak going, it's probably the longest amount of time I've maintained a healthy habit in my entire life. I need help to focus and I'm tired of being ashamed to say so.

I realize people need to be compensated for their pioneering work in behavioral therapy; but I wonder if there's some way to "open source" the teaching and practicing of DBT for people like me who otherwise couldn't afford it, and will *never* be able to afford it without the skills therein!

At this point I'm essentially self-medicating with cannabis most of my waking hours to cope with.. well, the shitshow that is my personal life with mental illness and the burning shitshow that is the world. I can't afford to do that long-term.

I truly, honestly believe DBT is a miracle but we need a way to share the knowledge as a matter of improving overall humanity.

Thoughts? Ideas? Slipped into a coma trying to finish this? I understand.

I gonna just disappear and come back when I know WHAT TO WANT IN LIFE AND HOW I WANNA LIVE IT 💕✨
